ya... CastleIT... you look at his other cards... scalp like fuck..

spam check lazada around morning to noon, it seems the colorful official store putting out 1 or 2 stock everyday. other than that good luck lol, maybe some shops will throw out 1 unit here and there for 12.12

That's the problem now. If you can wait for them to restock(as in a few pieces every now and then) then you wait la. You need to be pandai also. As someone mentioned before, business most probably intake new stocks on beginning of the week and less on weekends. Not sure about this but no harm to try though. Just log in to lazada, shopee, etc. more then. refresh more often. Also, now most shops will scalp but depending on how deep your wallet la. 1 or 2 hundred above msrp consider okay but some people if 1k also consider okay. Depending on how you look at it la. No wrong either way. Also it's way easier if you're not looking for specific brands la. Good luck.

Bro... you do know that TUF cards are no longer available right? Your only bet is TUF OC but they wont be cheap. Someone got 1 recently for 4.3k if I'm not mistaken. These cards are like unicorns bro. Unicorns are stuffs of legends. Don't expect them to be reasonable expensive too. LOL...

Based on user reception, Cyberpunk might be the biggest disappointment of the year in gaming. It's an endless sea of bugs and glitches being posted on twitter. All of this at 60-ish fps with a 3080. Ea published games gets crucified for way less. But people play favorites.

What kind of fucked up logic is that. People here criticize the new amd gpu lineup and never bought it also.

Hi Sifus,

I've decided to get a RTX3080, either ASUS TUF or the EVGA XC3
mainly because I have a small casing and the cards need to be 30cm or below in length.

I've heard that Malaysian retailers are forcing customers to buy a whole PC if they want a RTX3080 card.

I thought by now stocks would be somewhat replenished or could pre-order.. since 6800XT is out.

After checking around, I'm frustrated and disappointed that they are still blatantly carrying out this practice. I feel it's borderline illegal to do so, especially the recent PS5 bundle issue with Gamers Hideout.

Any advice on getting a card at retail price? I feel like want to complain to KPDNKK about this kind of practice.. sorry just feeling quite annoyed

A review is just a review, nothing more than that. Consumers should make informed purchases on their own.
So, ppl instead of ranting it out, product scarcity or no scarcity; enjoy what products currently on the table. 3080/3090, they're truly marvelous.

HDR and VR are underserved titles, most likely due to lack of proper game support + demand for clicks.

DLSS got a little bit of coverage during early game reviews, then nobody cared about it until Control was released (simply because DLSS 1.0 sucked).

Raytracing? IIRC, even Hardware Unboxed did multiple game tests for all the early RT titles, and covered effects and performance impact.
How to make informed purchases when people don't even read/watch reviews correctly? For instance, all the positive TUF reviews wouldn't be that positive if it costs more than $800 let alone RM4000++ - yet people here are still chasing after it because it got the most glowing opinions from reviewers.

this is actually a better guide as you'll get more performance on the lower voltage curves.

Why is everybody undervolting the 3080?

What did I miss?

Same answer than last page. It's not.

N yeah unless you max OC deep into the power limit there's always some benefits to be had with curve OC. (basically its overclocking with the exception that you cut off voltage at a certain point dictating TGP to the point of your liking. with regular OC you can't cut off like that. you can just move the power slider to a lower TDP which will have negative effects though once you use more than just cuda cores)

5) Now you select all points AFTER 856mV together, which is 862mV+. To do so 1) Move your mouse below (NOT ON) the 862mV 2) Hold SHIFT 3) Hold the left mouse button and pull it all the way to the right. 4) Release SHIFT 5) Pull all of these points down together. the highest point of the selected part must be below 1920MHz for this to work.

he meant u use the mouse cursor .. be low the next point.. hold shift to select from that point to the end..

its not the mhz that matters. its just selecting the range.

not the same.. and deswai dont 100% listen to these noobtubers. their method is not the most efficient and can cause stutters and crashes... Their method is fine in benchmarks where the gpu usage and clocks are constantly maxed out, but in everyday gaming and usage, the clocks will fluctuate up and down.. such a curve will cause the clocks to go up and down way too drastically and once you load any game from EA. conlanfirm game crash until holland.
his example is by capping 1920MHz@0.9V. So beyond 0.9V, he slides all the dots below 1920Mhz and apply "save". Then afterburner will automatically set everything after 0.9V to 1920Mhz.

the 1920 is an example. like for me, I cap mine 1995Mhz@0.95v, some cap 1710Mhz @0.75v .. it depends on how low you wanna go and how stable your card can be which is all depends on the silicon lottery.

you won't reach those limits anyways 

if you worry unlink power limit & temp and set temp to whatever you prefer in the 65-91°C range

It also depends at which temp you set the curve at... nvidia 50C onwards will drop clock at 15Mhz every 10C.

So let's say if you set 1920Mhz at 70C.. when it gets to 60C it will be 1935Mhz, 50C 1950Mhz and 40C 1965Mhz so....... it might crash when the temps gone down or when the ambient drops because it is not stable at 1965Mhz at the voltage.

These are things you gotta look out for. so I usually set the curve at 30+C and let it load, then allow the card to cool back down to 30+C to test the next curve. Yeah.... it's funny like that

The temp curve is done automatically by nvidia's boost algorithm.. you cant set it.

so just allow you card to cool down to idle 30+C then set your curve > save > then run a benchmark to test on stability.

probably a common sense tips, but the trick I do to cool down the card quickly in between test is by ramping the fan to 100%. It will save alot of time Happy tweaking.

i can second this. i made sure to take the temp clock change into account, make it so that the max is same each time... and using the changing whole curve method has less stability. if i do the only one point method i can get to 1830, but using whole curve only 1800, both max at same voltage. i assume it is because when u change the entire curve the lower voltages also brought up to higher clocks, and at those lower voltages the higher clocks are not stable. not sure which method i should stick to now
